How dumb is Mr. Pineda?

First he gets ticketed for speeding at 90+ MPH then gets another ticket minutes later for 100+ mph.

Then a DUI

Then, after getting caught with pine tar on his hand in his last start for the Yankees against the Red Sox, he goes out last night and puts it on his neck in plain sight.

Sounds like a player who belongs in a glass box with a hammer outside that says" Break 5 minutes before gametime

The Red Sox need the pep talk from Major League II:

OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!



500 IN the division is fine. 500 against the rest of the league will get them in trouble.

That always amuses me - hey two of something - wins or losses - happens, let's call it a streak or a trend or a slide ... way to hype everything, folks!

Okay, just putting this out there - if the Red Sox were gonna have a 9-game losing streak, I am glad it is happening in May, and maybe we can avoid one happening in September/ And yes, I do think 9 games does justify the term streak. I was disappointed they lost tonight's game in 15 innings. Close doesn't count, folks.

The statistics and terminology they come up with in baseball ALWAYS amuses me... My dad and I make up our own statistics "Adam Wainwright has a 12-2 record of throwing strikes against left handed batters who are wearing red socks and orange helmets". I mean, some of these things are ridiculous haha.

Whew,
What is in the water at Dodger Stadium?

--------

June's Playboy has an article/oral history about the Bosox. It's taken from the perspective of a handful of people - fans, writers and players. It was fun to read.

---------

In April I was able to go to an open house at Slugger Field, the home of the Red AAA farm club.

We got to walk thru the facilities and the into the dugout/clubhouse. During the tour I saw two signs in the dressing room that outlined the 'rules' about behavior in the CH, the dugout and on the field.
Some of the rules are common sense (Don't hit a player with a bat) to the kinda funny (Don't yell at the umpires).

Anyway, I would love to have a set of them for the man cave and was wondering if anyone had any info regarding who prints them, if they are available for purchase, etc.

I tried to contact the team and didn't get an answer back, I contacted the baseball HOF and they couldn't help me - I am going to email the office of the MiLB, but in the mean time I thought I'd try to ask the fans here on PT if they had any leads or info.

Thanks!

I got a weird call last night.


A Florida Area Code?

It was a call from the Bosox dugout, They were running out of managers and wanted to know if I was available.
